Thinking about switching to Linux? 9 things you need to know
Linux might not be on the mind of every consumer who uses a PC, but it's certainly growing in popularity. The reason for this growth has to do with several factors, including how deeply embedded Linux is within the enterprise business space, how the web browser has become the primary tool for most users, the incredible evolution of Linux on the desktop, the cost-effectiveness of Linux (it's completely free), and how the open-source operating system can save you from having to throw out that aging computer.
Add to those factors how user-friendly Linux has become and it's a perfect time for the masses to adopt Linux.
